Description

This Application is the U.S. National Phase of PCT/EP2006/063630, filed on Jun. 28, 2006, which claims priority from European Patent Application No. 05106248.7, filed Jul. 8, 2005.
The present invention relates to novel phthalocyanine-metal complex dyes and to the preparation thereof, and also to a method of dyeing or printing natural, semi-synthetic or synthetic material using those phthalocyanine-metal complex dyes.
The use of phthalocyanine-based dyes in dyeing and printing methods has been known for a long time.
However, it has been found that the known phthalocyanine dyes used in those methods do not always entirely satisfy the highest requirements, especially in respect of fastness to light. Besides fastness to light, resistance to gases, e.g. especially ozone but also nitrogen oxides, (so-called “gas fading”) is, above all, a problem that has not been satisfactorily solved hitherto, especially in the case of ink-jet printing, above all in the case of printing on microporous materials such as, for example, quick-drying photo paper.
There is accordingly a need for new phthalocyanine-based dyes which result in light-fast and gas-resistant dyeings and which exhibit good all-round fastness properties.
It has now been found, surprisingly, that the phthalocyanine-metal complex dyes according to the invention largely meet the above-mentioned criteria.
The present invention accordingly relates to dyes of formula

The inks may also comprise solubilisers, for example ε-caprolactam.
The inks may comprise thickeners of natural or synthetic origin inter alia for the purpose of adjusting the viscosity.
Examples of thickeners that may be mentioned include commercially available alginate thickeners, starch ethers or locust bean flour ethers, especially sodium alginate on its own or in admixture with modified cellulose, for example methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, especially with preferably from 20 to 25% by weight carboxymethyl cellulose. Synthetic thickeners that may be mentioned are, for example, those based on poly(meth)acrylic acids or poly(meth)acrylamides.
The inks comprise such thickeners, for example, in an amount of from 0.01 to 2% by weight, especially from 0.01 to 1% by weight and preferably from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the ink.
The inks may also comprise buffer substances, for example borax, borates, phosphates, polyphosphates or citrates. Examples that may be mentioned include borax, sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium pentapolyphosphate and sodium citrate. They are used especially in amounts of from 0.1 to 3% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 1% by weight, based on the total weight of the ink, in order to establish a pH value of, for example, from 4 to 10, especially from 5 to 8.
As further additives, the inks may comprise surfactants or humectants.
Suitable surfactants include commercially available anionic or non-ionic surfactants. As humectants in the inks according to the invention there come into consideration, for example, urea, glycerol, propylene glycol, or a mixture of sodium lactate (advantageously in the form of a 50% to 60% aqueous solution) and glycerol and/or propylene glycol in amounts of preferably from 0.1 to 30% by weight, especially from 2 to 30% by weight.
If desired, the inks may additionally comprise acid donors such as butyrolactone or sodium hydrogen phosphate, preservatives, fungal- and/or bacterial-growth-inhibiting substances, antifoam agents, sequestering agents, emulsifiers, water-insoluble solvents, oxidising agents or deaerating agents.

(so-called white spirit); a suitable oxidising agent is, for example, an aromatic nitro compound, especially an aromatic mono- or di-nitro-carboxylic or -sulfonic acid which may be in the form of an alkylene oxide adduct, especially a nitrobenzenesulfonic acid; and suitable deaerating agents are, for example, high boiling solvents, especially turpentine oils, higher alcohols, preferably C8-C10alcohols, terpene alcohols or deaerating agents based on mineral oils and/or silicone oils, especially commercial formulations composed of approximately from 15 to 25% by weight of a mineral oil and silicone oil mixture and approximately from 75 to 85% by weight of a C8 alcohol, such as, for example, 2-ethyl-n-hexanol. These are usually used in amounts of from 0.01 to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the ink.
The inks can be prepared in customary manner by mixing together the individual constituents in the desired amount of water. Where necessary, the inks are clarified by filtration through a very fine filter.
The inks according to the invention are, for example, suitable for printing. Examples of appropriate printing methods that may be mentioned are conventional printing, stencil printing and inkjet printing methods.
The inks according to the invention are especially suitable for use in recording systems of a kind wherein an ink is expressed from a small opening in the form of droplets that are directed towards a substrate on which an image is produced. Suitable substrates are, for example, textile fibre materials, paper, or plastics films. Suitable recording systems are, for example, commercially available inkjet printers for use in paper printing or textile printing, or writing instruments, such as fountain pens or ballpoint pens and especially inkjet printers.
In inkjet printing, individual droplets of the ink are sprayed onto a substrate in a controlled manner from a nozzle. For that purpose, predominantly the continuous inkjet method and the drop-on-demand method are used. In the continuous inkjet method, the droplets are produced continuously and any droplets not required for the printing are conveyed to a collecting vessel and recycled, whereas in the drop-on-demand method droplets are produced and printed as required, that is to say droplets are produced only when required for the printing. The production of the droplets can be effected, for example, by means of a piezo-inkjet head or by means of thermal energy (bubble jet). Printing by means of a piezo-inkjet head is preferred for the method according to the invention. Printing by the continuous inkjet method is furthermore preferred for the method according to the invention.
Depending on the nature of its use, it may be necessary for e.g. the viscosity or other physical properties of the ink, especially those properties affecting the affinity for the substrate in question, to be modified as appropriate.
As textile fibre materials there come into consideration, especially, nitrogen-containing or hydroxy-group-containing fibre materials, for example textile fibre materials of cellulose, silk, wool or synthetic polyamides.
The inks according to the invention, which comprise the dyes of formula (1), are especially suitable for recording on paper and very especially suitable for use in paper printing.
As examples of paper that can be printed with the inks according to the invention there may be mentioned commercially available inkjet paper, photo paper, glossy paper, plastics-coated paper, for example Canon Photo Paper, Epson Inkjet Paper, Epson Photo Paper, Epson Glossy Film, HP Special lnkjet Paper, Encad Photo Gloss Paper, Ilford Photo Paper and, especially, microporous photo paper, for example Ilford Printasia Photo Glossy Paper, Canon Photo Paper Pro PR-101 and Epsom Premium Glossy Photo Paper.
Plastics films that can be printed with the inks according to the invention are, for example, transparent or cloudy/opaque. Suitable plastics films are, for example, 3M transparency film.
The present invention accordingly relates also to a method of printing paper, plastics films or textile fibre materials, especially by the inkjet printing method, wherein an aqueous ink is used which comprises
  • from 1 to 35% by weight of at least one dye of formula (1) and
  • from 1 to 40% by weight of a water-miscible organic solvent,
    based on the total weight of the ink.
The inks according to the invention are storage-stable and exhibit no precipitation on storage for relatively long periods.
The prints produced in accordance with the invention are distinguished by good fastness to light and by excellent resistance to gases, especially ozone.
The following Examples serve to illustrate the invention. Unless otherwise indicated, the temperatures are given in degrees Celsius, parts (where given) are parts by weight and percentages relate to % by weight. Parts by weight relate to parts by volume in a ratio of kilograms to litres.
